Just wondering
Lapband surgery in 2009 - Revision to RNY August 13, 2013 with gallbladder removal.
HW - (260) SW - (197) GW - (135), updated on 1-2-14 to 125lbs HT 5'5" Goal reached 3/2/14-revised goal to 120 on 3/9/14 reached 4/6/14 
I'm on my way, my surgery is scheduled for Jan 8, at St Vincents Hospital in Carmel Indiana . I know I will be on liquids not sure how long then go to pureed and soft foods. Just wanted to ask what did you drink and eat at these stages ? any ideas would be appreciated.
If you list what your nutritionist and surgeon have cleared at each stage, you can likely get a much better response from folks. I know I have a lot of recipes even in the liquid stage, but if they are not things that you are allowed, it won't help. :)
HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
Every doc is different - my pre op was 2 weeks of liquid diet. I had an Adkins shake for breakfast, Herbal tea after that, chicken broth and a shake for lunch, sometimes a sugar free popsicle for a treat, more Adkins and chicken broth for dinner. It seemed like having the broth made it more like a meal, especially hen I was having lunch with co-workers. I was determined to see it through and counted down the days until surgery. After surgery I had another couple of weeks of protein shakes, cottage cheese and yogurt - some soft scrambled eggbeaters and pureed soup. By 7 weeks I was able to have an ounce of chicken or fish and am now up to 2-3 ounces at 4 months. Your doc should be giving you a plan soon. As I said every doc says something different - they all have their pet plans but they all seem to work just fine. Good luck on the 8th
